[Laszlo-dev] [JIRA] Updated: (LPP-7551) several text-link issues

[Henry Minsky]

This was all work done in trunk, as far as I know. We did a big
workaround for mouse events in swf9 because
in order to make hyperlinks work in the flash TextField object, you
have to set mouseEnabled=true, which caused many of the other mouse
behaviors to break.  So we have all this hair which grabs the mouse
events
and then dispatches them to the 'correct' views, where 'correct' means
the swf8 behavior.
